The success of an organization depends largely on the ability of its employees to discover, analyze, and act on line-of-business data and operational information. Unfortunately, there is traditionally a deep divide between the enterprise systems used to collect and manage data and the desktop tools that information workers use to communicate and act on this information. Microsoft Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005 for the first time organizes that information into a central data store. KPI Finder 2005 allows you to query out the business intelligence directly into your favorite Office application.
